Blue Jays claim Brad Mills off waivers

The Toronto Blue Jays have added a pitcher. On Thursday the team claimed Brad Mills off waivers from the Oakland Athletics.

Mills, 29, made headlines earlier this year when he was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Athletics for $1.

Thrust into the Athletics rotation Mills made three starts posting a 4.41 ERA and a 159 WHIP though 16 1/3 innings of work. He became expendable when the Athletics acquired both Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel from the Chicago Cubs.
